Today we have a giga-post to celebrate The Dark Knight and the world of DC Comics as a whole! And here... we... go!Yep, that's Killer Moth in there :) How can you not like Killer Moth? I also LOVE that iconic Lex Luthor armor, I have ever since I got that Super Powers figure of him in the 80's!

Spider-man, Green Goblin, Electro, Vulture, Lizard, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Rhino, Scorpion, MysterioWell, today's mega-post is inspired by the awesome Spider-man cartoon of the 60's. As a kid, I adored watching Spidey's adventures as I wolfed down my lunch every day. I'd run outside humming the theme song and shoot my sister with my imaginary web-shooters. I can even remember going to the outdoor pool downtown, hanging onto the ledge in the water where I would practice sticking to the wall. I don't know who your favorite villain was in the cartoon, but I always liked how they did Mysterio. He was just so... mysterious. He had a creepy voice and he just looked strangely cool. Now that I look at it, Spidey's enemies sure seem to like green and purple, don't they?

Captain Kirk, SpockThe orignal Star Trek is definately my favorite Trek. I watched an episode the other night where the crew, upon encountering a strange new planet, met up with a man claiming to be Abraham Lincoln! There was also one episode where they visited a world that had been taken over by Nazis!

I just love those bizarre setups they often opened the show with, stuff that makes you say "Huh?!" It really makes for a fun mystery and keeps you hanging on. On top of that, the cast was great, especially Leonard Nimoy - Spock's usual subdued demeanor made his little accidental slips of emotion especially funny.

Anyway, Shatner and Nimoy went on to do some pretty odd things. Shatner singing "Rocket Man" was one thing, but I especially love Nimoy's "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins"...

Iron Man (movie)The Iron Man movie was kind of a surprise hit. Pretty much nobody but us comic fans knew anything about him, and superhero movies can be pretty hit-and miss. When I heard about Robert Downey Jr. being cast as Tony Stark I thought, "Yeah, I can definitely see that working! That's pretty much perfect casting!" When the first pictures of the Iron Man armor were released I thought, "Whoa! I have to admit, that looks good! Pretty faithful to the comic, too!" That always makes us fanboys happy. Anyway, John Favreau did a great job directing a movie that had heart, action, and was actually fun, too. Tony had some trouble testing those prototypes, didn't he? :)

NeoBefore I saw The Matrix, I heard people say "This is possibly the best sci-fi movie I've ever seen." That seemed like a rather strong endorsement, but that was pretty much all I knew about it. I'm kinda glad I went into it cold, because it really blew me away. Anyway, you've probably seen it numerous times and I don't need to go on and on about it, but I had to note how it brings up some big political and spiritual issues, because, as it's been said, you don't know you're decieved until you're not decieved. Like Bob Dylan sang, It may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you're gonna have to serve somebody....don't worry, not every entry here will be so heavy :)

Tobias FünkeThe show "Arrested Development" gave us such oddly interesting characters like the former-psychiatrist-aspiring-actor-hopeful-Blue-Man, Tobias Fünke. Of course, Tobias may be most renown for his particular "condition" - He's a never-nude. Yep, that's exactly what it sounds like. Where did the writers come up with these ideas? I can't help but laugh to myself every time Tobias comes to my mind.

I keep hearing rumblings of an "Arrested Development" movie, so maybe we haven't seen the last of Tobias or the Bluth family! Huzzah!

About Me & Springfield Punx

Springfield Punx is a little pet project of mine. The idea of doing fan art parodying some of my favorite characters and stars in such a fun and simple style got me hooked immediately.
Some of these guys and gals have appeared on the Simpsons and I could just work from that, but most I had to do from scratch. Check back often for new Punx!

I believe to the best of my knowledge that the artwork here would fall under the "fair use" doctrine. This is meant to be a fan art site like so many others out there. These are parodies that I do for fun. I'm not selling anything on the site and I don't wish to be sued. I do this art for the love and enjoyment of the characters/people featured here. Neither do I seek to do damage to the characters/likenesses or their owners, and I believe, if anything, this blog would do the opposite. If you are the owner of any of these characters/likenesses and you would like them to be removed from here, I will do that. Thanks!!
